Good afternoon, good evening and good morning depending where you are at. So a pressing issue has been among us whether we know of it or not, here in the US. That Issue is Net Neutrality. Now it would not surprise me if many of you had no idea what Net Neutrality is. I didn't for the longest time until a few years ago where I got a crash course explanation of what it does for us which I'll explain soon. But once again, this issue has surfaced and it is huge! We are talking the end of internet freedom as we know it. So what does this have to do with Net Neutrality? Well here is a brief condensed version of the purpose of Net Neutrality without complicating it. Net Neutrality essentially allows we the consumer to go through any Internet Provider and use the internet freely (by freely I mean there is no form of censorship). No matter where you go or what you do on the internet Internet Providers are to remain unbiased as to what you can access (hence the free internet). With out Net Neutrality Internet Providers have the right to censor what you see and do on the internet. Or they can charge you a service fee to use said service. For example Comcast is in direct competition with Netflix. Netflix has a far more popular streaming basis than Comcast. Without Net Neutrality, Comcast can block or slow down the speed of Netflix which either A: Forces you to use Comcasts streaming service or B: Forces you to pay a fee to Comcast to continue using Netflix. Either way we as the consumer lose. But who is behind all of this? The answer is FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. Former lawyer for Verizon. This man is fighting to take away the free internet and completely get rid of Net Neutrality. Think about it this way. Here in the US the bill of rights clearly states we have the right to free speech and freedom of the press correct? Yes that is correct. By censoring the internet the FCC will have already imposed on our right to free speech and the freedom of the press. A vote will be held on 14 DEC 2017 to abolish Net Neutrality. So why is this even happening and how did it get this far? It's because people are not informed of the issue. And that is why I am writing this post. Is to help spread the truth and awareness of the situation. Of course I encourage you to research this matter on your own. search for your own sources, search the truth and decide for yourself. I've created a video on my own channel again doing my part to raise awareness of the situation. You may watch if you would like, I provided links in the video description of posts and news of the situation in the video description. (I am unable to post links to this page at this current time. You can find my channel with the video on my profile here on motovlog.com) Of course there are many more sources than just the ones I've provided. So what can you do to help the situation? You can call or email your congressman. You can do what I've done and help spread the information. You can go to the FCC homepage and voice your opinion. Every little bit helps whatever it is you do. The worst you can do is nothing. But if that's what you choose then that is your choice. I encourage you all to read up and arm yourselves with the knowledge of the situation. I've never been one for activism but this... this boils my blood especially when it's stepping on our rights as people. I know we all agree and disagree on many different issues and sides of issues but this is one thing I believe we can all agree on. An uncensored internet. So if there is one thing that I will ever ask of any of you who have read this, is to take hold of your right and make your voice known. Let's not let corporations take over the internet!
